No it doesn't. Yours has a power steering cooler not a oil cooler.

Now my car is past break-in (1200 miles) and I am seeing reduced oil temps by about 10°F. When the car was brand new it was seeing oil temps about 120-130°F over ambient and now I am seeing 110-120°F over ambient temperature.

Yeah I caught and corrected. It's almost nice not having to care what is under my hood. Hadn't looked enough to remember exactly. i was thinking mine had one on both sides.

I'll grab you a pic. I believe there is a power steering cooler as well. Check your production date, could be a late year change.

I don't drive my car hard often but have run the snot out of it a time or two and never seen my oil go over 230

Reviewed pics here I guess it is the same. i was thinking mine was on the other side(or both). Still no oil temp issues at all. We ran it at around 135mph for a LONG time on the back roads of TX. Still no bad buildup. Maybe hard stop and run or track with slow corners but no issues with high speed or daily driving.

I don't really know if 250* is really that abnormal for this engine. As per the manual, once it hits 280*, you should stop driving like an ***. Other than that, I think it is fine. I take my Z on country back roads, and drive lively. None the less, I constantly see the temps climb to 240-250 range, but it doesn't go above it. Needless to say, you should also be checking your oil consumption, as I have noticed that the Z loves to burn oil!

Same exact temps for me. 250 is higher than they wanted engines to run yaers ago. Other than the newer metalurgy used in the "green" bearings causing problems at lower temps than in the past, no one has actually given a definitive "yes, 250 for extended periods is ok" answer.

My oil temps stay at 220 with nissan ester (same as when it was brand new). 5k miles on it. KN Oil Filter.

But no oil burning though.

Will be interesting to see what happens when i switch to redline

Just started noticing my oil temp hitting 240ish with 90-92 degree outside temp in stop & go traffic. This is after I put in Royal Purple for the second oil change. Have about 6200 miles at the moment. Anyone else notice this with Royal Purple or Redline? I am quite concern about this.

I use Royal Purple and my oil temps are around 220 When ambient temps are around 90...ambient goes much above 95 and my oil temp goes to 240 though. I did not notice a change in oil temps switching from what ever my dealership used to the RP FYI.
